Wells' attorney said the settlement terms were confidential and declined to comment further.

"The lawsuit has been resolved in a manner satisfactory to the parties," a university spokeswoman said.

Wells' lawsuit accused the school and its president, Father Michael Graham, of damaging his reputation by expelling him over a student's 2012 rape allegation.

Wells filed the lawsuit in August 2013. It alleged that he was the victim of discrimination, emotional distress, libel and negligence after he was expelled.

Xavier kicked Wells out of school in 2012 in the aftermath of a student's accusation that he raped her.

Wells said he had consensual sex with the student following a game of "Truth or Dare," during which he said the woman took off most of her clothes, kissed him, and gave him a lap dance.

The student later declined to press charges, and a grand jury declined to indict Wells after hearing evidence.

A judge ruled the lawsuit could go forward in March.

Wells claims the university used him as a scapegoat to demonstrate an aggressive response to rape allegations.

At the time, Xavier said Wells was expelled for a "serious violation" of the code of student conduct, and that a board consisting of faculty, students and administrators made the decision following standard procedures.

Wells, a junior guard and forward, played for the University of Maryland his last two seasons. He started all but one game this past season and led the team in scoring with 14.9 points per game.
